“PDP rule shall end in 2015”- APC

Posted on

The major opposition party, All Progressives Congress, has vowed to bring to an end the 16-year rule of the Peoples Democratic Party at the federal level in 2015.

The chairman of the Oyo State chapter of the party, Akin Oke, said the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan would be voted out of power as “Nigerian voters are expected to effect a desirous change through the ballot boxes and throw up only the genuine democrats and patriots as their political leaders.”

The party said, “Nigerians have had to groan under the forceful rule of the PDP since 1999 till date. It is an indisputable fact that the PDP cannot offer the nation the desired good governance or, at least, show improvement on its palpable incompetence, insincerity and lack of vision as it concerns channeling the cause of Nigeria and Nigerians. Rather than show promise, the ruling party is busy destroying all the sectors of the nation’s economy and setting the people against themselves.”

“With the calibre of patriots in the refreshing alternative called the APC and the choice of our prospective candidates for all elective posts in the 2015 general elections coupled with the resolve of the electorate to facilitate change, the end to PDP’s reign has come. Therefore, we congratulate the citizenry in advance while we urge them to keep the spirit of change for a better Nigeria.”

It however urged Nigerians to support whoever emerges as its presidential candidate in a bid to win next year’s presidential poll.

In a statement made available, the Oyo state APC also claimed that the current PDP-led Federal Government had made no attempt to develop the South-West because of the hold the APC has on many of the states in the geopolitical zone.
